VfB Stuttgart celebrates DFB Cup victory after 28 years – 4:2 against Bielefeld!

VfB Stuttgart triumphed in the DFB Cup final at the Olympic Stadium on May 24, 2025, securing the title with a 4-2 win against Arminia Bielefeld. In front of 74,036 spectators, Stuttgart put on an impressive performance and created a historic moment in German football.

The game started brilliantly for the Swabians: Nick Woltemade took the early lead in the 15th minute, followed by further goals from Enzo Millot in the 22nd minute and Deniz Undav in the 28th minute. These three goals in just 13 minutes are a new record for the most goals in a short time in a DFB Cup final, as OneFootball reports.

Unfortunate oversights and historic moments

Bielefeld, the underdog from the third division, did not give up. However, Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee missed a great chance in the 12th minute when he hit the crossbar. Despite the deficit, Julian Kania managed to score the first goal by a third division team in a DFB Cup final in the 82nd minute, while Josha Vagnoman scored an own goal in the 85th minute, reducing the final score to 4-2.

The victory is VfB Stuttgart's first DFB Cup title in 28 years and fourth overall, having previously won in 1954, 1958 and 1997. The last title win in the Bundesliga was 18 years ago, which underlines the importance of this success.

End of the season and outlook

In the Bundesliga, Stuttgart finished the season in ninth place, but secured a place in the Europa League by winning the cup. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who has developed the team since taking office, can look back on a successful season. In addition, Bielefeld previously survived four first and second division teams in the cup, which makes Stuttgart's performance all the more remarkable.

The euphoric atmosphere before the game was shaped by the fans and former national coach Joachim Löw, which further fueled expectations for the final. VfB Stuttgart not only made history with this title, but also once again attracted attention in German football, while Bielefeld can be proud of their own performance.
